MySQL

Connect MySQL to query your databases data in Queringo.

At a glance

Setup

1. Open Connect source

   In the app, go to Data sources and choose Connect source. Open the Databases tab and select MySQL.

2. Enter connection details

   Provide the host, port, database name, and a read-only user and password. The default port is 3306. Enable SSL/TLS if your database requires it, or configure an SSH tunnel for a private network.

3. Save the connection

   Queringo tests the connection before saving, then discovers the schema. PII is flagged and masked by default during discovery.

Where to find these in your provider

1. Sign in to MySQL as an administrator.
2. Create a read-only user: CREATE USER 'queringo'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY '…'; GRANT SELECT ON your_db.* TO 'queringo'@'%';
3. Run FLUSH PRIVILEGES; to apply the change.
4. Open port 3306 to Queringo, or connect via an SSH tunnel.

Test the connection

Queringo runs a connection test as part of saving. If it fails, the error message indicates what to check (credentials, network reachability, or scope). From Data sources, you can re-run Test connection on the source row any time, for example after rotating a secret or changing network rules.

Edit or rotate

To change connection details (host, port, or database), open the source from Data sources and edit it. To swap only the secret (password, key file, or token), use Rotate credentials so existing dashboards and alerts keep working. See Rotating credentials.
